Two of our five teams placed 1st and 2nd in the Puget Sound CSTA Programming Contest this past Saturday (April 27th) held at Amazon.com. William Ballinger assisted by a friend from Nova High School took 2nd Place* in Advanced and Rebecca Wong, Ryan Miller & Franklin Sussman won 1st place in Novice competition. Please congratulate them when you see them next – they did an outstanding job as did all our Garfield programmers.

There were a total of 43 teams and 100 students at the competition. (All Contest results here). PSCSTA is also offering two $500 scholarships for students who have participated in at least one of PSCSTA’s computing events and want to go beyond your current understanding of computing; full details & application linked here (deadline May 24th).

*Note: 1st Place finished just 1 minute ahead of them.
